Speaking of bumpers, and not that it matters much in the grand scheme of the universe, but were you aware that the 1-ton bumpers are different from the 1/2-ton and 3/4 ton bumpers? They are thicker steel, for one. And the bolt holes may not be exactly the same, either. I had a really hard time getting bumpers on my truck until I figured this out (I had 1/2-ton bumpers). Once I was able to trade for some real 1-ton bumpers, they went on without any fuss. Just more to ponder ...

If it helps, here's a picture of my rear bumper. Hopefully you can see how thick it is. The 1/2 and 3/4-ton trucks' bumpers are noticeably thinner.
